This session will address different aspects of the Economic and Social
History of Latin America. Economic and social history is concerned with
understanding the process of change in the past. It uses the skills of the
economist, the statistician and the sociologist, as well as those of the
historian. Typical issues which the subject addresses are: the history of
economic development, the effect of business organisation on economic
performance, the economic and social effects of wars, the importance of
education and human capital in economic change, change in social behaviour
in the past, systems of land use, trading and finance, and the causes of
population and migration, among others. The impact of economic and social
change as it affected the family, workplace, neighborhoods, as well as
changes in institutional structures have always been central to the study of
economic and social history. These issues can be examined in a comparative
context evaluating the impact of long-term economic and social changes under
different cultural conditions. Therefore, this session welcomes all papers
related or closely related to any of the areas mentioned above.
